Hey there,
I was in Thailand almost a year ago. Before the trip I thought great, I will get my first look at some of these northern constilations that I have heard so much about but never seen.
Well our first stop was Bankok, no joy there, way too much light, too many tall buildings. Next stop was Chang Mai, too much smoke and pollution in the air to even see a few metres in front of you at times. Last stop was Phuket, we stayed in Patong. We had a lovely spot on the hillside, the highest hotel there, the only one that wasn't effected by the tsunami but alas, there was far too much light pollution around.
So that was the first time I went above the equator and still didn't get to see any of those fabled northern constilations. I might just have to make sure our next holiday above the line has some dark places.
Paul
